Default How will you watch baseball?

I can't be the only one in this situation, tho possibly the only one that's seeing this post, I don't know.

So typical Twins baseball games are on Fox Sports North....sorry, now Bally Sports North I guess. Fox has these regional sports networks all over the country, but I don't know how many of them are the home for their local baseball teams.

For the last few years fewer and fewer streaming services have come to agreements on continuing to carry these networks, I'm assuming because Fox is expecting too high a price. I used to have Sling, for a less expensive way to get my local channels plus Fox Sports North. But by last year while places like YouTube claimed to still be working on agreements, only Hulu actually had one.

Well, now they no longer do. The ONLY way to watch a Twins game at this point is to have DirecTV (not Dish), AT&T TV, or cable. Oh sure, I could get MLBTV...only they black out the ONLY games I would actually buy their service for.

Yes, I could buy MLBTV and a VPN. Yes, I can find a pirated stream somewhere. Or yes, I could spend an extra $70 a month for cable...just to watch a baseball game.

I remember the joy of saying 'see ya' to cable. Now I had to negotiate to get my internet down to $75/mo and have to finagle a way to watch a simple baseball game....or just again pretend that $150/mo is an OK amount for the amount of TV I watch.

I don't qualify as having that problem....but I am usually happy enough following any or all games on a live fantasy feed with live updates. I'm pretty sure most scoreboards offer a feature like that.
no live video....

I will watch on my tv at home when I want to which is not very often. Baseball can be so boring sometimes.

In my situation every bar is going to have my team on television. Well that can get expensive to. And I would not want to be that person taking up a table that some other people can use while I drink my beverage. Plus the factor of limited seating.

Well there is always radio.
